Description
There are so many great photos of Gay Street and the Tennessee Theater that I found it difficult to put my perspective and "DNA" on something new. Many admired photographers have produced inspiring photos of Gay Street and the Tennessee Theater that I'm hesitant to even post this. And honestly, I'm just not sure how I feel about it at this moment?
I set out early (5:00 a.m.) last Thursday morning (01-07-10) in the freezing cold (15°) snowy weather to hopefully find a desolate downtown Knoxville. Of course, I did. I mean really, who in their right mind would go out in such crazy conditions? Me! :~)
My hope was to produce a color version of a somewhat snowy Gay Street and the remaining Christmas Lights while including the legendary Tennessee Theater signage. Of the sixty or so shots I made that morning I still wasn't totally satisfied with the results. And basically, my near frost-bit hands had enough. I know ... Sissy. :~)
The high-contrast B/W version is the one I like the best but thought I'd share the color version too. Please see the links below for more information.
